From Merry G:
We have been busy at Western Farm Workers Association! Our new clothing Benefit Office, located at Hillsboro United Methodist Church, is up and running twice a month. This allows us to expand our distributions and more efficiently use the space at our business office in Hillsboro. The new office is being planned and run by our members.
At our annual Tamale Benefit in February we made 6,600 tamales in five days. It was an amazing effort!
We also held an Optical Session with Kaiser Permanente in Tanasbourne, and about 100 members were able to have their vision tested and receive new prescription glasses free-of-charge. Three follow-up optical surgeries were donated to address more serious conditions for our members. Our next event will be an audiology session on March 9.
Thank you for your support! Call Merry at 503-840-7410 or the WFWA office at 503-681-9399 with any questions.
